Background
The purpose of this requirement is to procure one Keysight N7747C-STD 2-Channel fiber optical power meter (OFPM) on a brand name only basis. The OFPM will be used for the DARPA Quanet phase 2 integration event to characterize the optical fiber links used in this event. The OFPM will be integrated into an existing quantum network and component measurement suite as a moveable rack-mounted measurement capability. Only the Keysight N7747C-STD-2 is acceptable to ensure compatibility with the existing system. It will assist with NIST’s research on developing a movable measurement test suite for quantum network components and protocol testing, verification, and characterization, as well as DARPA's Quanet phase 2 event. The test suite will be implemented on the DC-QNet infrastructure, with a fiber network dedicated to quantum-optical signal transfer between various quantum network nodes.
It is anticipated that a Firm-Fixed Price type Purchase Order will be issued as a result of this combined synopsis/solicitation.
Responsible Quoters shall provide pricing for the following line item(s) and in accordance with the Attachment A – Statement of Work (SOW):
